Film Analysis:
Zeek Biggers is a smooth athlete within the interior with the potential to challenge for snaps should the necessary improvements be made in his skill set. He’s aligned primarily as the three-tech defensive tackle (outside shoulder of the guard) within an even front Georgia Tech defense. He has snaps at 1-tech and has no issue attacking head-up against centers as a 0-tech.
As a run defender, Biggers does a nice job of maintaining gap discipline. I’ve seen zero instances of him being displaced from his assignment, showcasing a good anchor and overall strength to hold ground. Is more of a peek-and-pursue defensive lineman where Biggers will engage with his opponents, lock out, and then disengage to pursue the football. Has plenty of reps facing double teams and does well in countering additional bodies (Louisville). More vertical push would be nice to create splash plays, but his success will come near or parallel with the line of scrimmage as a run defender. Biggers’ motor is evident and he has the agility and athleticism to make plays in the shallow fringe areas of the line of scrimmage.
As a pass rusher, Biggers has limited explosiveness and a minimal repertoire to work past opposing blockers. Mostly utilizes a two-hand swipe and a hump move in an attempt to mix up looks. With evident mass and athleticism, he has room to grow as a threat on passing downs. Drives his lower half well if initially stalled, but must continue to work on the utilization of his upper half once engaged.
Overall, Biggers has a ways to go in continuing to evolve his game fundamentally, which will ultimately correlate with production. Those facts, however, will limit his overall stock for a prospective NFL franchise.
